  • Well, it seems that our DEFINITIVE String Library range “GLASS STRINGS” is causing a bit of a stir. This video is made to dig deeper into this different way of approaching string sampling. Christian Henson takes us through a candid in-depth dive of something we are incredibly proud of producing.
    By crafting this library out of the true individualism of 5 incredible string players we hope you too can find a different approach to making orchestral music that makes you stand out as an individual voice, an original storyteller and a music-maker who is opening new doors of adventure and exploration for you and your audience.

    I bought it, did a 2 minute cue (Glass Strings and a piano) and sent the cue to a film maker for whom I had scored a film that he submitted to a regional film festival. HIs response - "👍nice! I love the strings!"...(We won best score...)...I'll also be using it a lot for a company I compose for, based in L.A...My "boss" there is also very particular........Glad you and your team created it, and glad I bought it and added it to my kit............Keep up the good work!

    Spent a few days with this. It really is well recorded with a lot of authentic articulations. Blends well with CSS/CSSS, Abbey Road Orch Strings - so far. Adds some life and movement to those more traditional libraries. Sounds great on its own - I like the close mics so I can control the ambience in the effects/mix. Super easy to use and get usable results. Well, I bought it and so far it looks like it will find a place in my template. Not crazy about the reverbs, but that’s how I feel about most virtual instrument ‘verbs.

    Sounds amazing! Glad I finally got to sit down and watch the whole deep dive. We need more of these in the future, because watching you work with the plugin on a deeper more educational level, that isn't just giving in demo, is immensely helpful to reference back to. I love to tinker, but often lack a fundamental understanding of how something is working or how to make it better. I never ended up buying chamber stings from Spitfire, but I picked this up after listening to the first few minutes of the launch vid :)

    Separate out the fundamental and the "glass" and we can put reverb just on the glass, and distortion just on the fundamental. That would be pretty cool. :)

    I’ve used Crow Hill’s libraries on a number of film scores now, very usable and much more “human” than the other two dozen string libraries I own. The Gestures add realism that you can’t achieve with traditional samples but it can take time to find the right movement and changes. It would be fantastic to have some kind of written notation … if that was possible. Regardless, your libraries are the best value out there. Kudos !

    Thank you for these precisions about your library, Christian, sounds excellent. I was affraid it was "gestures only" (you insisted a lot about this feature in the previous videos). I like these phrases, yes, but I'm always cautious with these "premade" things as I'm affraid hundreds of composers use the sames. Now I know I could use it in a traditional way by playing the notes myself 🙂

    Really loving this unique library from Crow Hill. Begs the question if I get this does it replace the String Murmurations and Small string gestures that I already own? Would love to see examples of how they might play together.

    • @ThePickledOnions
      @ThePickledOnions 3 дня назад

      Wondering the same too, I just got small string gestures and I love the sound.
      This seems to me like a much expanded version with more content and shorts & sustains.
      As with all sample libraries it's hard to know how useful it is to you till you've played around with it.

    Are the gestures repeatable? Nothing worse than having a track where you get the gestures just right but then each time you play the track, they come out different.

    • @jammypockets606
      @jammypockets606 6 дней назад

      @@brymusic1542 From my experience of the murmuration libraries it will repeat the same every time. Having said that, the inherent problem with baked in musicality is everyone sounding the same because the library is doing the work for you. I'd say this should only be used as an ideas and inspiration pad and at this price it's well worth the money.
      It's main attraction is going to be that it makes you sound good instantly even if you're not, like me.

    • @Mark_Nowa_Taylor_Composer
      @Mark_Nowa_Taylor_Composer День назад

      Indeed they are repeatable, the way the gestures work is that a gesture is one recording and it's programmed to one note, so let's say you play a gesture that is programmed to a C key, it will always play that one recording.

I have just been using my digital piano as a midi controller, but it doesn’t have the function of controlling the modulation etc. should I buy the mod controller first, then save up for this, or vice versa? 😵‍💫

    @burnmic 6 дней назад +3

    Really nicely done - the tone is beautiful, and they have life! very nice :)
    Honestly, I struggled to use the 'gestures' previously, but when I heard the motors and movements in the intro I was blown away. I have a question though - the 8ths motor sounds beautiful (around 22:06) but then a measured trem or similar comes in towards the end? Are those baked into the samples, or do we get each movement style in separate banks/presets? Ideally I'd love to have each broken out into it's own patch, so I can have more control over what's happening - is this do-able with the library?
